The Dalcroze Education Today

Summary/Abstract: Dalcroze Eurhythmics education is a wholistic approach to musical understanding which teaches fundamental music concepts, and the expressive and artistic connections between music, bodily movement and the other arts. The Dalcroze method applies groundbreaking techniques incorporating rhythmics movement, instrumental, vocal and movement improvisation and aural training. The Dalcroze education consists of three major components: Eurhythmics, Solfegé, Improvisation and Plastique Animé. The basic premise of the Dalcroze education is that the rhythm is the primary element in music and the source of all rhythm may be found in the natural rhythms of the human body. The body is trained to be the instrument, not only of the performance of eurhythmics but of the perception of music. The demands of the modern world accelerate our inner rhythms; the speed and quantity of information become overwhelming, our artistic sensibility and perception are changed and altered, sometimes even flattened. A wholistic and comprehensive musical and kinesthetic education as the Dalcroze education is crucial in today’s artistic training through reconnecting the analytical mind, the musical ear and bodily movement. The creator of the Dalcroze education was the Swiss Emilé Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950), professor of composition and music theory at the Geneva Conservatory of Music. Today, the Dalcroze College in Geneva coordinates the Dalcroze education in the whole world.
